The 5,500-square-foot home boasts spectacular views and an infinity pool

Situated in Southern Switzerland on the shores of Lake Lugano, this glass-walled penthouse apartment makes the staggering views of the water, Monte San Salvatore, and the Swiss Alps take center stage. “Glimpsing the magnificent views of the little idyllic fishing village along the lake shores, the verdant nature, Lake Lugano, and the legendary Swiss Alps, feels like being in sheer paradise,” said Ueli Schnorf, owner Wetag Consulting/Christie’s International Real Estate.

Built in 2012, the luxurious penthouse was originally three separate apartments and combined to form one 5,500-square-foot unit. The ideal location for a family, the home is just a few minutes from the American school TASIS and the airport.

The Stats

This 5,457-square-foot home has three bedrooms and five full bathrooms.

“Interiors feature an elegant and opulent mixture of modern classics,” said Mr. Schnorf. Muted tones of white, off-white and light gray keep the focus on the outdoors, which is showcased via glass walls all around.

There’s a sprawling living room with sliding doors that open to terraces as well as a formal dining room. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, a large covered deck offers space for dining and relaxing against inspired vistas.

Amenities

The home features a private outdoor swimming pool with an outdoor kitchen and a pergola lit by an LED-clad wall. Additionally, there’s a fitness center with a sauna and Turkish bath, a home theater, and a sports court.

Renowned for its relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle, the South of Switzerland boasts palm trees and vineyards and offers the perfect combination of Swiss efficiency and Italian lifestyle, said Mr. Schnorf.

The home’s locale is within convenient walking distance to the center of the city with its elegant boutiques in Via Nassa, its charming cafés, festivals, and its many international restaurants on the lakefront. The region is Switzerland’s third-largest banking center and is also just an hour’s drive from the metropolitan Italian city of Milan.
